Abstract
|
|
|
A 5 month-old male infant presented with high fever and progressive motor weakness of both lower extremities. He had skin dimpling on the back. Spine MRI reaveled that he had multiple intramedullary abscesses which are connected with
hydrosyringomyelia,
intramedullary dermoid cyst and dermal sinus tract. Initially he was treated with antibiotics and frequent spinal tapping for one month. Consequently his neurologic signs began to improve, so the operation was done. It is considered that he might
be the
first case who survived with frequent spinal tapping before surgery.
